Family Travel with Points and Miles
Where to go next? It's been a LONG time since my last post. While we have done some traveling, we haven't done as much as we normally would due to COVID.

Starting off a year year is a great time to set travel goals. After the dumpster fire of 2020 we have a lot of pent up excitement to start traveling again once the pandemic gets under control. Our expectation is that the second half of 2021 is when things will start opening up and we… Continue reading Welcoming 2021

The forecast called for the rain to let up by noon and it was more of a drizzle than a downpour.… Continue reading Bar Harbor – August 2020: Day 3

We made our way over to the breakfast room near the pool to see what the breakfast would be. Breakfast Buffet When we arrived there… Continue reading Bar Harbor – August 2020: Day 2
